Consequently, Long Knife was pulled off surveillance from time to time to pick up Lemieux’s family at the train station, deliver his laundry and drive to) Montreal to pick up his: favorite comics.” __ * Long Knife, up to his neck in debt, ¥ was used by another | RCMPofficer to deliver a monthly envelope containing $1,000 in cash to the president's office at the Bel! telephone - company for company help in bugging patrons’. telephones. Long Knife steals a couple of envelopes to pay personal debts and ‘when found out, is ordered. to repay the money within a week. The desperate Long Krife contacts a Soviet Embassy official and is paid $4,200 for disclosing that‘a Soviet agent in ”. Hionireal has been turned into-a double agent by the Security Service. The Montreal ° agent ‘who might have been of help to, the is ick to Moseow. Long Knife, as‘ punishment. for Saale the telephone company money, is sent to Manitoba. No longer in the Security Service, he is unable to get more money from the Sovist Embassy because he has nothing to sell. He confesses to the RCMP, hoping they will use him’as a double agent against the Russians. ‘Betrays agent’ Instead, they bust him and have him charged with illegally raising.the printed value of a cheque. He gets a two-year susperided sentence and is ordered to pay resti- ‘tution. The Mounties don’t want to charge him with espion- age because it ‘would make the force look bad. The betrayal of the Montreal agent is among a long line of failures that led the Mounties to suspect a Soviet “mole” was in their midst. The suspicion focuses upon Bennett and becomes riveted when the Mounties learn that in his child- hood in the coal-mining country of Wales, an. unde had Communist associations. z BENNETT QUESTIONED In May, 1972, after 18 years as a civilian member of the : : Security Service, most of it 'as Head of:the Russian Desk, Bennett is interrogated about loyalty...’ The Mounties suspect he is a “mole”: for the KGB Soviet secret service but by the end of this-fascinating: book, the reader will probably conclude, as Sawatsky has in’ inter- views, that the smartest, most dédicatcd msn in the Security Service was deliberately set up and destroyed professionally by the KGB. By the end of the interrogation, Murray Sexsmith, the tough officer who leads it, tells Bennett: “I don’t believe in any way you have been a KGB agent.” But the damage has been done. Bennett is offered another government job, at $5,000 a year less than he was earning, but decides to take a medical pension and retire to Australia. ‘He can't get another job anywhere in security. For the last 10 years, he has been supplementing the pension with money from odd jobs’ in Perth. ‘Parallels’ other book’ The Sawatsky book parallels 8, Portrait Of A Spy, _ written by Ian Adams of Toronto and published in 1977. Bennett sued Adams and was awarded $30,000 last year, as well as'a ruling that the book must carry a disclaimer stating that S wasn't Bennett. During the lawsuit, it wes established that Bennett had no income other than his pension and ‘odd job money. ‘In other. words, nobody was making life comfortable for him.
